Aspen’s ATX200 dual-band in, 978 MHz out ADS-B transceiver is a solution for aircraft that have a Mode A/C transponder (or Mode S without Extended Squitter) and a WAAS-enabled GPS installed. The ATX200 is a certified solution and is compatible with Aspen Evolution PFDs and MFDs.

System benefits:

Access to subscription-free ADS-B weather and traffic for your Aspen display.

Meeting the FAA ADS-B out mandate with this solution:

With your existing Mode A/C transponder (or Mode S without ES) and WAAS GPS equipment installed, plus the ATX200, you will meet the mandate below 18,000’.

If a new transponder is on your “to-get” list, you might want to choose one that’s both relevant now and in the future. The KT 74 transponder from Bendix/King is the easiest upgrade to the popular KT 76A/C and KT 78A models, with a “plug and go” capacity. And it’s ADS-B compliant, therefore meeting all 2020 requirements. It is low-cost, easy to install and fits into your existing panel. Suiting your needs now and in the future.

That’s where we come in. Count on Cincinnati Avionics to guide you through the process from start to finish. We’ll explain what ADS-B is all about and what it offers for pilots, so you can make a confident decision about your airplane’s avionics. We also offer a full complement of ADS-B avionics to suit almost any aircraft, from names you trust: Garmin, Appareo, Bendix/King and more.

Understanding ADS-B

At heart, ADS-B is a new way for Air Traffic Control to separate airplanes, but it can also offer free datalink weather and traffic. Here are 5 things to know before you upgrade to ADS-B:

1. ADS-B Out avionics will be required by January 1, 2020 in most airspace where you need a Mode C transponder today.
2. An approved WAAS GPS must be included in your ADS-B Out solution.
3. ADS-B Out compliance must be with panel-installed equipment (no portables).
4. ADS-B In equipage (for weather and traffic) is completely optional.
5. Avionics are available from Garmin, Bendix/King, Appareo, Aspen and others, starting under $5,000.
